ABSTRACT Oyster reefs are often referred to as the temperate functional equivalent of coral reefs. Yet evidence for this analogy was lacking European native species Ostrea edulis . Historical data provide a unique opportunity develop robust definition ecosystem type, confirm that O. large‐scale biogenic reef builders, and assess its current conservation status. Today, occur scattered individuals or, rarely, dense clumps over few m 2 historically, ecosystems persisted at large scales (several...
Oyster reefs are often referred to as the temperate functional equivalent of coral reefs. Yet evidence for this analogy is lacking European native species Ostrea edulis and its biogenic habitat. Recently assembled historical data provide a unique opportunity develop robust definition ecosystem type, confirm that O. reef builders, assess current conservation status. Today, typically occur scattered individuals or, in few locations, dense clumps over m2, however, historically ecosystems...
Anthropogenic activities have impacted marine ecosystems at extraordinary scales. Biogenic reef built by the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) typically declined prior to scientific monitoring. Collating >1,600 records published over 350 years, we created a highly resolved (10km2) map of historical presence across its biogeographic range, including documenting abundant habitats along coasts France, Denmark, Ireland and United Kingdom. Areal extent data were available from just 26%...
Ocean ecosystems have been subjected to anthropogenic influences for centuries, but the scale of past ecosystem changes is often unknown. For European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis), an engineer providing biogenic reef habitats, was a culturally and economically significant source food trade. These habitats are now functionally extinct, almost no memory where or at what scales this once existed, its form, remains. The described datasets present qualitative quantitative extracts from written...

For European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis), an engineer providing biogenic reef habitats, was a culturally and economically significant source food trade. These habitats are now functionally extinct, almost no memory where this once existed, at what scales, or its form functioning, remains.

Nutrition interventions to support young adults are needed due low diet quality. The aims were explore the (1) circumstances and (2) barriers regarding dietary habits of adult users No Money Time (NMNT) healthy eating website with lowest quality scores. An online cross-sectional survey was conducted from August-September 2022 a sample NMNT aged 18-35 years (defined as Healthy Eating Quiz score 0-38/73). included demographics (e.g., gender), (6-item US Food Security Survey, Cooking Skills...
Abstract Coastal habitats worldwide face various threats, including sea level rise and land conversion. habitat loss has important economic consequences, as many of these provide valuable ecosystem services flood protection, carbon sequestration, nursery areas for commercially fished species. Quantifying the value helps target policies coastal restoration. Here, we demonstrate how to quantify contribution made by revenue (e.g., ex‐vessel values) species estimating a residency index. This...
A 15-year-old female presented to physical therapy 2 months after a traumatic injury with severe low back pain, referred unilateral leg pain below the knee, and lumbar lateral shift. classification-based approach, mechanical diagnosis therapy, was utilized identify patient respect particular subgroup, interventions were applied according symptomatic response loading strategies, sustained repeated movements. Outcome measures included Modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (MODQ) visual...
ABSTRACT Every year, 100 hectares of saltmarsh in the United Kingdom are lost due to sea level rise. The remaining areas threatened by land conversion, agricultural activities, and climate change. There important economic consequences loss, as provides valuable ecosystem services including flood protection, carbon sequestration, nursery habitat for commercially fished species. Quantifying value these can help target policies restoration, or ‘managed realignment’, new areas. In this study, we...
Introduction Listeria monocytogenes is a rare cause of infection following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR); there remains lack consensus on the optimal management strategy, in particular need for life-long suppression. Despite this organism’s increased pathogenicity amongst immunosuppressed hosts, to date no EVAR infections have been described cohort. Here we describe first case ofListeria monocytogenesEVAR an immunocompromised host. Case description A 75-year-old gentleman presented...
